ARB Hydraulic hi-lift JACK

[rusty_nail]

Every bugger makes a noise at how heavy my barge is, yet encourages me to make it heavier! All good ideas but reckon I will leave that one for a bigger barge than mine Nicco. I think the combo between the airbag, ARB jack and Roadsafe jack extensions I should be right. I bought the entire kit so have a couple of safe options on board.

Sorry mate, I just couldn't help myself was definitely being cheeky. I reckon you've got a great setup on the way

I take 3 jacks with me.

The original bottle jack, an 8t hydraulic bottle jack & a 3t high lift which is also setup as a hand winch. The 8t hydraulic jack is my fav.

Good mix of options there for sure. I have finally assembled the Roadsafe jack assembly that is a modular system to go on top of a mechanical or hydraulic jack, instead of trying to chock up the jack or level the base with rocks and planks of wood. One component was incorrectly machined so the kit would not fit together. I went back to the supplier and they brushed it off, claimed they didn't have any additional components so send it back or modify yourself - strange approach to the issue. Anyway, I had the bore skimmed on the lathe and all good. Also have jack adapters so it can fit a hydraulic jack up to 20T. The ARB 'Jack' is in transit from PAP, waiting on the jack ground pad also to come back into stock.

Jack arrived whilst on site, awesome bit of gear, beautifully manufactured and complete with padded waterproof bag and a good set of instructions. Have not used it yet.Jack.jpgJack in bag.jpg Waiting for baseplate to arrive.

Can you tell me $ cost please

Not trying to sound like a pompous dick, I dont recall, simply purchased from Patrol a Part since they are a supporting organisation. I think it was around $1300, plus the mount pad at circa $80 delivered. Its a very high quality item from first appearances. I am happy to change from the hi lift jack as it almost took my chin off on a recent use - @MB may recall the bloody thing clacking down and the handle flicking up and down without any chance to arrest its movement in the shed. Having said that, I have used this jack for some 30 odd years and maybe it has reached the end of its operational use. I think it will be chopped up and end its life in the recycling bin.

Phil. Just seen this tonight. Maybe game changer?

That is clever, ball screw/linear actuator I guess. will be interesting how it lasts with side loading as well as vertical, very neat

I liked that vid for the 62 though as that is how I found it. 8 have followed his direction and have a Bottle Jack from a GU and a Jack extension kit for the 62.
